Pretty clutch, no?

Yes, we've already gone over 2004, when the man was 33 years old. He was a clutch player that year, obviously.
I was talking his whole career. He played for 20 years, he was clutch in one. Oh and in one other game in 2002.
I liked Gelinas a lot, and in fact he had a better career than Bennett will, in all likelihood. But he was held up as a guy who was always clutch. He was in 2004. But otherwise, not so much. He wasn't poor, he wasn't great, he was a decent player in the other POs he was in.
